This mobo is pretty forgiving with ram and it doesn't overclock that high so you are pretty safe whatever ram you decide on. If you populate all ram slots use only single sided memory sticks and remember if you mis-match sticks you will not be running in dual channel mode (see page 2-7 of the manual). Having said all that, things will work best if you have two one gig sticks, one in the first green slot closest to your cpu and one in the first purple slot closest to your cpu.
I thought dual channel referred to manufacturer-matched pairs. I didn't think that phrase in the manual, "same type and density," just meant any two-sided low-density sticks of the same size. All of my current sticks are double sided (chips on both sides) and I think the 512s are the same brand.

What kind of camcorder would you recommend for FCE HD 3.5?

Hello everyone,
I'm very new here and have been trying to search for the answer to my question without having to bug anyone, but now I am under the gun, as it were.
I need to purchase something within a week and a half and would truly appreciate suggestions from anyone here. Here are a list of my questions and I hope you all will be kind of enough to help me. Thank you in advance.
1- I would prefer a camcorder that records to a DVD, but if tape is way better, please let me know.
2- I see that FCE does not support AVCHD. What other pitfalls are there to avoid in purchasing a camcorder that is compatible with FCE HD?
3- My dream is to have a camcorder that can record in 24p, but can't seem to determine whether FCE HD can support it. Please help!
4- Am willing to pay more for CCD sensor range - is this helping?
5-Would like to shoot in 16:9 ratio and with lines of resolution of 720 and higher, this possible with FCE?
5- With the questions above...what camcorder would you recommend?
I know some of the camcorders that have these features are ranging from $900 to over $1,000 but would consider it a good investment for things I would like to do in the future.
I hope the information I've given is enough for you all to give your suggestions. Thank you again.

They are not bad - just unsuitable for FCE and all good editing programs.
There are several totally different kinds of Digital Video - many people mistakenly think all "digital" is the same.
DVD, Flash Memory or Hard Disk camcorders produce video in a version of the MPEG format.
FCE etc. only handles video in the DV or QT format which is totally different from MPEG.
One analogy would be to buy a diesel powered car and then find that all the filling stations in your area only had petrol (gasolene) pumps. Your car would be pretty useless !
The only way MPEG can be used in FCE is by converting it to DV or QT which wastes time or money and results in slightly reduced quality.
All these cameras are produced for the mass market (where the money is), to be used by people with no knowledge or interest in film-making or editing.

What brand of RAM do you recommend with this board?

Hey guys!
I wanted to know if any of you guys could recommend RAM that would be good for this system. I am running a custom water cooling kit so I am planning of pushing the processor to 4ghz+. The problem I have right now is that I cant get the RAM to run past 410mhz, and thus it is limiting my processor FSB to 205. Also I am pretty sure this ram is limiting my video card tremendously. Also what speed would be suitable? Could I go with a good ddr433 dual channel kit? Or should I plunge to ddr500? I tried searching these boards but its hard to find info about what people recommend about ram. I was mainly hoping to learn from everyones experience.
As a side question, my video card is performing below average. I have the PCI latency set to 64 and agp aperture size is at 128, are these settings good?
Currently I am running:
875p Neo LSR
Prescott 3.4ghz
Asus Ax800XT PE
256x2 DDR400 2-3-3-6 Geil Golden Dragon in dual channel
Ultra X-Connect 500W PSU
Thank you in advance!

I scrapped it all. As long as you buy a good brand you'll be ok. Corsair is probably the best. 235x17=3995. So pc 4000 would cover you to 4.0 easy, provided you get there. Try to get the lowest latency ram you can afford, other than that just make sure its a good brand. Corsair, Ocz, G-skill and maybe Geil?.

Until you buy faster ram, you can set a divider to see how high the proc will go.

What spec Mac Mini would you recommend for running XCode 4?

Our organisation is starting to develop apps for IOS and the first step is purchasing a Mac to run XCode 4 on.
We are on a budget and the Mac Mini is within our price range but after some initial research we are concerned that we would need more RAM in order to run XCode 4 comfortably.
Below is the spec of the Mac Mini we are considering using:
2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
2GB memory
500GB hard drive
Intel HD Graphics 3000
OS X Lion
Just wondering what people use to run XCode 4 and how happy they are with the performance.
Many Thanks
Richard

If your development will be iOS apps, the base model
should be more than sufficient provided you bump
up to at least 4 gig RAM, preferably 8. However,
don't purchase the RAM from Apple as it is way over
priced. Go to Newegg or OWC to purchase it.
If the app requires some signifigant graphics development
and need to use image processing software to create them,
I would suggest bumping up to the next model with the
discrete graphics chip.

What Illy CS4 book would you recommend for the beginner to grow with?

Hello All,
I am looking for a good illustrator cs4 book for the beginner to grow with.
I have read reviews on amazon but thought I might ask the pros.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The instructions that ship with the program: The Help menu.
I know it's boring, but if you want to learn a new program, the most expedient way is to work through the provided manual, cover to cover. Don't just read it, actually perform the operations it describes.
Third-party books almost universally involve these downsides:
They are expensive.
They are incomplete. They try to walk a fence-edge between rank beginner and intermediate user; between being merely a too-wordy reiteration of the Help files and next-level techniques for the more experienced user. The reason is obvious: the goal is to sell to as wide a range of users as possible. The result is often unsatisfying: They can't possibly include everything in the Help files, so they leave gaps for the beginner. But they feel compelled to appeal to beginners, so the experienced user has to weed through a bunch of entry-level bulk, just to get to the "juicy stuff" he's interested in. He pay's 100% price for about 15% of the content.
The are inefficient. They are full of unnecssary verbiage attempting to be clever, cute, hip, friendly, and thereby supposedly more "approachable." Most fail miserably at this, and the result is you have to read through endless passages of such original content as "this will knock your socks off" and "this is awesome" when what you really need is "just the facts, ma'am." The Help files fall under the stylistic guidelines of technical documentation: They adhere to "just-the-facts, ma'am."
They are short-lived. They go quickly out-of-date, which is one of the reasons why they are too expensive: They have to make their money quickly after release.
I'm not saying don't buy any. I have a small fortune's-worth myself, all but a dozen or so of which I wish I had never bought. With the money I wasted on them (plus interest), I could buy a new Honda Fury. I'm just saying do the included documentation--however painful--first. And keep doing it for new features when new versions are released. That will get you there the quickest, because it will lay the necessary foundations of overall interface scheme and basic object principles. Then, when you have that understanding, look only for books that are targeted toward an at-least intermediate level user. That way, your money will be spent, but it will be better-invested.

What version of windows would you most recommend using?

what version of windows would you most recommend using?
XP Home, XP Professional, Vista Home, Vista Business?
I see that XP takes up 1.5GB versus Vista's 20GB. XP uses 128MB Ram versus vista 512MB.
It would seem like XP would run faster and take up less space... but is it the best choice? Thanks for the suggestions.

Thank you for your quick response. I can then use a ZIP drive for data storage. I want to keep as much of my hard drive free of data as possible.

I have a great number of Hi8 video tapes and I would like to burn them onto CDs through MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A), but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend?

Hello everybody! My question is; my parents and I have a great number of video tapes (Hi8 and mini DV) and since I purchased a MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A) I would like to burn them onto CDs, but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend(it can be a software, a hardware or combination of both)? By the way, I also purchased an external DVD-RW(Asus SDRW-08D2S) separately.

Just Google "convert hi8 to dvd" and you'll find a number of software/hardware combinations that will allow you to do what you want. One important piece of the puzzle is whether or not you still have access to the video recorder(s) that the movies were shot on.
Good luck,

What would you recommend me to do in Oracle Form Builder as a beginnner?

I am a beginner in Oracle Form Builder and can anyone recommend a list of tasks/assignments I could try as I barely any projects at work currently ?
I have been able to query items in a database(table) by creating a control/dummy block. What list of tasks would you suggest me to do next ? Any complex type of forms I could try ?
Thanks.

If you have created a dummy/control block, I would recommend that you create a new block based on a database table. Use the block wizard.
Then a further block based on a table that is a "child" or "detail" table for the one you just created. use the block wizard.
Then create a list of values (using the LOV Wizard) to populate one or more of the fields in your block - preferably using a SQL statement to get the contents of the LOV.
You could then try creating a calculated item to add up values in one of your blocks.
Then try creating a "when validate item" trigger on one of your items to try to enforce some validation rules. Display any error messages using an Alerti (don't bother with the "message" function in Forms - it's rubbish).
That should be enough to be going on with.
Good luck.

Web page video - what file type would you recommend?

I've stood up a web page for selling things (house, musical instrument, chipper-shredder, rent an apartment, etc.) and would like to have a few videos included. The plan is to save the video on the server and not use hyperlinks to places like vimeo and youtube. For one thing, vimeo doesn't allow a basic member to use their site for selling things.
A. Screen view size: I would like something, say, 2.5 to 3 inches high X whatever width the proportion would be (4:5 or 16:9), minimum.
B. Resolution: Most of what I've recorded is in 1440CBR but reducing the quality to keep the file size small is VERY important. I'm not looking for Full Hi-Def, just something that gets the message across.
C. It is very desirable for the visitor to be able to start viewing the video as soon after clicking on the hyperlink as possible. If they have to wait for a few MegaBytes to be downloaded they probably won't stick around. Also, there will be no advertising on my web page which should be nice.
D. The file format should be viewable by both Macs and PCs. Questions:
1. Is *.mp4 H.264 the most universal format?
2. Should I "Share" to a QuickTime format and assume the PC users will have QuickTime on their machine?
3. FCPx uses the "Share" menu in order to Export. What would you recommend for a Share setting (file type) so it will do what I would like to do?
Is there anything I left out that would be good to know???
Editorial comment: This has been a total struggle.
My resources:
FCPX 10.0.3 (have not updated yet. Waiting until the dust settles)
MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 5,1 2.53 8GB memory Lion
MacPro 1,1 Lion
Passport drive: 1TB for video storage
MacBook White 1,1 (for email and Internet surfing) 10.6.8

Hi again,
I'm happy with the Audioengine 5 which I have on the computer desk about 2' ~ 3'
away so I'd call them 'near field'. You should have a shelf on your desk so the speakers are roughly at your head height. I'm also using a 12" Velodyne powered sub in this set-up which sits on the floor to my right.
here are some 'home' studio designs:

Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.

What camcorder under $500 would you guys recommend?

I'm about to have a baby in the next week or so, and I'd like to get a camcorder!
What camcorder would you recommend to work well with the Mac lifestyle?
I have an iMac 21" + apple TV, and I don't really need HD or anything - just good wquality widescreen footage would be nice to watch on AppleTV once I'm done editing in iMovie.
Any suggestions?

A miniDV tape cam will give you lossless quality video, as opposed to other formats that use high compression to store the video files. Definitely avoid any DVD cam, as DVD's are end products and they are not intended for editing purposes.
Since you seem to be new to moviemaking, you may also not know that you can get a free download of iMovie HD6, the previous version of iMovie and many will say the last, best iMovie made. It offers greater editing capabilities and a pro style timeline editing format, as opposed to iMovie 08, which is geared towards the You Tube style moviemaker and has a very different workflow.
If you do decide that HD6 offers more of what you want, you must only consider a miniDV cam with firewire, as iMovie HD6 will only capture from that format. Other format cams will require third party software, extra time and loss of quality in your final production, if you need to import non .dv files into HD6.
Having a tape cam also allows you to always safely keep your original footage, plus make a tape copy of your finished movie by exporting from iMovie HD6 back to your cam. Tapes are far more reliable long term storage media, if stored properly, than any DVD or hard drive will ever be.
Here's the link to the free HD6 download:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
Here's a link to a camcorder review website to help you decide which way to go. Bear in mind that salespeople are going to direct you to what their store wants you to buy and with the glut of hard drive, flash memory and DVD cams out there, the best format, miniDV, is not getting its fair shake.

Good luck giving birth next week MARTIN - you must be the world's first!!!
